Gao Chang and Rhubarb

One day the sun changed, and nature re-established her laws.

Blue sunlight gave infinite vitality to all things, but it also became unbearable for the species that had been long accustomed to the golden sun.

To live or to die? Adapt or be eliminated?

In this cruel test, the species with lower levels of evolution and simpler structures adapted faster. The lower the IQ, the more ignorant and fearless the animal is. They exposed themselves to the unfamiliar sunshine early and accepted the judgment of nature. The sooner they pass the test, the sooner they can start to reproduce and seize resources.

And what about humans?
Human beings avoid the sun because they are afraid of danger and would rather live in darkness.

Because they possess advanced technology, they can create various living conditions for themselves.

But can they really compete with nature and exist outside her new rules? Is it true that no matter how many casualties there are, mutations are inevitable? Then what kind of contradictions and turbulence will human society experience, in the replacement of the old and new races?

The protagonist, an ant tribe*, suffered the attack of the end of the world, lay on his deathbed, and silently confessed that the thing he felt most guilty about was when back in high school he abandoned a sick puppy and didn’t save it. After rebirth, he did not give up on the puppy again but made a different choice. Then one day, this dog named Rhubarb said that he was a descendant of the Inugami*.

What are the benefits of being a descendant of the Celestial Inugami? It is, of course, cultivation. However, Rhubarb said that the Dog Clan’s way of cultivation is not taught to outsiders. If one wants to cultivate, one can only marry into the clan.

Ant tribe* (蚁族, “ant tribe”) It refers to a low-income and poorly-housed group including ordinary citizens, migrant workers, college graduates, and technical school graduates who live in crowded groups in cities.

Inugami* (犬神, “dog god/spirit”), like kitsunetsuki, is a spiritual possession by the spirit of a dog.
